The Hosts club had left, preparing for the final day of school before break and to get some much needed sleep. Maria was yawning, tossing letters into different piles.

Not important.

Important.

Top priorities.

She decided she'd let Hermione, Ron, and Harry deal with most of the important and top priority letters. They would have an easier time deciding which moves to take and better plans to move on.

She was not a strategist, in fact, she had always left that to Ron and Harry. She could create a strategy while playing chess, or volley ball, but it would always have some sort of hole. She definitely couldn't come up with battle strategies holes were dangerous when it came to those.

Hermione she had always let deal with the extremely logical side of things, not to mention drawing lines between what was okay (only slightly illegal.) and what was never okay Banned in twenty two different countries and this is one of them.) , because while Maria could deal and learn laws, she had yet to draw strict limits when it came to breaking them, for the greater good, of course.

Maria had let them take care of strategies and logic and limits, and in turn she dealt with the business side of things. She worked her fingers into cracks and crevices of underground communities, making connections and ties with shady people and people in high places. She gained information through a network she had built.

Getting locked out of the Dursely's almost daily in her summers there was the perfect excuse.

When she'd figured out both her and Harry were the heirs to the Potter and Black fortunes and companies she'd been pleased and immediately gained her influence and connections through there. Now, she managed the deals and finances

The hands on fighting wasn't a problem either. She'd always loved running and boxing, and dueling once she was able to.

When she finally had the last letter sorted she picked up the top priority stack, (five letters in all) and took them to Hermione.

"When ever you get a chance you might want to look over these." Maria told her, and Hermione nodded, taking the letters and setting down her book.

"Go get some rest, Maria."

The next morning Maria got up quickly, already smelling breakfast. Harry had made eggs, pancakes, french toast and bacon. Remus was absent from the meal, A full moon, Maria noted, she'd have to take him some chocolate cake tomorrow.

After breakfast, Her and Harry got baking.

"All this for the club?" Fred asked, stealing a cookie off the tray.

"Why so much?" George asked, grabbing a brownie from the container.

"It's for the guests as well, now shoo, and stop stealing stuff when I'm not looking!" The ginger twins grinned, each grabbing another cookie before prancing out of the kitchen.

At Noon, Maria changed into The Ouran uniform, (the one she stole from Harry) and her and Draco started packing stuff up to take.

**the club**

"Mia-Chan!" Hunny skipped up the the dark haired girl as the club went silent.

"Hello Hunny! Before I forget, this one is just for you." Maria shifted the boxes in her arms before handing Hunny a rounded container. "It's chocolate strawberry." she mock whispered and Hunny beamed.

"Gee, Thanks!"

Maria turned to address the rest of the club. "So as you've noticed I was not in school for a significant amount of time this year. Due to personal matters I was unable to attend, however, it was brought to my attention that in the last week the club has not been open due to my absence. So I would like to apologize to those who missed the club and thank you for understanding my absence. To do so, I brought home made pastries and sweets."

Haruhi took a few boxes and set them out on a table, Maria following suit, and draco fixing the remaining boxes.

Guests swarmed Maria, giving thank you's and 'I hope everything is better' and things like that.

Half an hour later the guest were filing out, each holding a rose and a sweet or two.

"that was kind of you to bring that for the guests." Kyoya said as Tamaki and Haruhi finished cleaning.

"I had to say goodbye somehow, after all, you closed the club on my behalf." Maria smiled.

Kyoya chuckled slightly.

He turned to his notebook for some last minuet accounting and Maria went to go help Haruhi clean.

"Hey Maria, whould you like to come over to dinner tonight? My dad has been wondering how you are." Haruhi asked, glancing over.

"Of course! I'd love to see Ranka again! In fact, I'm going to help you cook!" Haruhi laughed slightly.

"Alright, you can just come back to my place with me if that's good."

"It's perfect."

**later**

"Thanks for Dinner Haruhi! It was a pleasure to see you again Ranka!"

Ranka grinned "The pleasure was mine! Rest up, and tell your Brother to keep making those wonderful cakes! Oh, and tell Sirius I said Hello!"

Maria laughed, "I will! See you later Haruhi, Ranka."

Back at the manor, Harry was talking to Mason, sketching something in the new sketch pad Maria had gotten home for his birthday. Draco seemed to be playing Chess with Ron while Hermione Watched both of them. Teddy was laughing as Fred and George blew color changing bubbles that also changed their smell when they popped. Luna was snuggled into a nest of blankets on the couch drinking tea with the latest quibbler.

Maria headed up to her room, slightly tired and was about to lay down when Kyoya texted her.

Dinner tomorrow night at seven?

Sure, I'll see you then! Love you.

Love you too, goodnight.

** the next day**

Maria put the finishing touches on her hair, pinning the braid in place. Two strands were left loose in the front to hang down, and the back was part up swept, the rest braided and pinned up.

She glanced at the clock. Six forty seven, Kyoya would be here any moment.

Sure enough, a few minuets later the doorbell rang, signaling Kyoya's arrival.

When Maria came down stairs Fred and George were standing straight faced in front of Kyoya, "Have her back by ten. No funny business young man...Or if there is funny business buy it from Weasley Wizard Weezes!"

Maria giggled and all three of them looked over to her. She was wearing a dark emerald Dress that went to just below her knees.

Kyoya smiled at her, holding out his hand. She took it and turned to the twins.

"I'll be back whenever I please, " She stuck her tongue out before waving goodbye.

Maria stared at the restaurant as they made their way in.

"Ohtori, reservation for two." The greeter led them to a table almost in the center of the restaurant.

"This place is..like...Super fancy." Maria whispered playfully, causing Kyoya to laugh.

"That was delicious, I can't wait for desert."

Kyoya waved to the waiter, "We're ready for desert."

"Yes, just a moment sir." The waiter nodded before going into the back.

Maria's attention had been captured by a couple sitting near the back, she could have swore she recognized them, so she didn't notice that instead of desert the waiter brought out a bouquet of lillies.

"Everyone, If we could have your attention,"the waiter said before handing over the bouquet. Slightly confused she took the bouquet from the waiter, turning to see If Kyoya was just as confused as her, only to let out a startled gasp.

Kyoya was smiling, slightly nervous, one knee on the ground. He held out an open box, inside it, an exquisite diamond ring.

"Maria Lilly Potter you are amazing, beautiful, and truly unique. You showed up in my life and quickly became an essential part of it. There are times when you doubt yourself, or you can't bring yourself to think you are worth anything you've been given but I make sure I'm always there to remind you that you are worth every last bit of anything. I want to be there for you, to always fight away the nightmares and doubts. You have lived through so much and you took my hand and showed me a bigger world, one that was more than just business and pleasing people."

Maria had to fight the tears back, but she was smiling.

You are so strong, every time the world tries to knock you down you get up and shove it down in retaliation, and I love that about you. You're not afraid to cry over little things, or laugh over stupid things, or at nothing at all. You are passionate about everything you have and believe in.

Well, Maria, I'm passionate about you. Every second we spend together is a dream, and every second apart I'm dreaming of seeing you again. I love you so much, and I will love you until the day that I die, So, would you, Maria Lilly Potter, Spend the rest of your life with me? Will you Marry me?"

The restaurant was silent in waiting for an answer.

"Kyoya.." Maria smiled, tears still shining in her eyes. "Yes, It will always be yes, no matter what. I love you."

The restaurant patrons cheered, and Kyoya stood slipping the ring onto her finger, and kissing her.
